The motion passed 7-0. HARMONY TOWNE CENTER PUD - PRELIMINARY Mike Ludwig gave the Staff Report recommending approval. Lucia Liley, applicant representative, submitted to the Board a packet of letters from surrounding neighbors. She presented a background of the original Harmony Corridor Plan that relates to this project. She stated that shortly after the property was purchased by the applicant in 1993, two moratoriums were placed on the Harmony Corridor - one affected development in the Harmony Corridor and the other affected development of any superstores. Throughout the moratorium period, the owners worked with the City and the mobile home park residents, Neighbor to Neighbor, the Housing Authority and private groups on relocation efforts of the mobile home park residents. She stated that City Council specifically found, in the ordinance that imposed the moratorium in the Harmony Corridor, that changes to the plan were necessary to more adequately plan for the proper locations, size, quantity, type and design of retail and commercial development in the corridor. In making the revisions to the plan, City Council found that the suggested amendments were intended to strengthen the vision of the corridor and that it was a place that would be an activity center for northern Colorado. In the memo that accompanied the ordinance, it stated that all retail and commercial uses must be done within a shopping center, all future major shopping centers will only be permitted if shown on the map. This proposal is on that map. The city recognized the difference character of regional shopping centers versus other shopping centers by emphasizing that the primary focus should be on the vehicular access from arterial in non-residential collector streets. This proposal complies with the locational and site specific criteria. In regards to design standards and guidelines of the Harmony Corridor Plan, this proposal's setback is different than other properties further east on Harmony Road. These properties are not required to meet the 80 foot buffer setback that other properties typically are. The setback depends upon site constraints, what is being proposed, how narrow or wide the property is, how close to College Avenue, etc. Council Liaison: Gina Janett I Staff Liaison: Bob Blanchard Chairperson: Gwen Bell Vice -Chairperson: Glen Colton Phone: (h) 221-3415 Phone: (h) 225-2760 679-3201 The meeting was called to order at 6:34 p.m. by Chairperson Bell.
